The lowest of them all

Times have indeed change. You can always rely on this universal fact. Can't do anything to stop it. Resist, and you're doomed. Go with it, and wait what happens.

This blatant reality has often been tossed in my face but all I do is stare at it. Like a deer transfixed by a pair of headlights, I can't seem to move at all. It's scary yet appealing both at the same time. To be in the spotlight, just I and my destiny ahead of me. Yet, I have never really grasp what is mine.

In the Alchemist, it was written that it is one's obligation to fulfill thy destiny (or something to that effect). What therefore must I do? What can be done to fufill one's destiny? Things were more simple back then. One can just pick up a sword, fight the dragon and save the world. Now it's different. You've got to prove your worth through other means. Concepts of honor, chivalry have been replaced by character and responsibility.

Maybe that's why I never tire of adventure-themed movies, books, tv series, cartoons, anime, etc. They speak of days when it was easy to find your place, to define who you are.

In a world dominated by Technology, shopping, and hedonism, I must be self-aware. whatever that means.

PS. There are no perfect days. Today, the world sucks. I must have hit rock bottom. The lowest of all lows. In short, a lowlife. Tsk, tsk. How unfortunate.
